Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the charland of Jamuna river under Bhuapur upazilla of Tangail district (AEZ-8) during rabi season of 2013-2014 to find out suitable BARI developed Lentil variety for char land area of Tangail and ultimately increase total production as well as improve farmer’s economic return. Four high yielding lentil varieties viz. BARI Masur - 3, BARI Masur - 4, BARI Masur - 5, BARI Masur - 6 were tested against local variety. All BARI released lentil varieties were superior to local variety of lentil. Among these varieties, BARI Masur - 6 produced the highest seed yield 1.52 t ha^-1 (83.13% higher yield over local variety) followed by BARI Masur - 5 (1.24 t ha^-1, 49.40% higher yield over local variety), BARI Masur - 3 (1.18 t ha^-1, 42.17% higher yield over local variety) and BARI masur - 4 (1.03 t ha^-1, 24.10% higher yield over local variety). The results revealed that BARI Masur - 6, BARI Masur - 5 and BARI Masur - 3 might be suitable for charland of Jamuna River under Bhuapur Upazilla of Tangail (AEZ-8) district for getting higher yield.

Objectives:

The experiment was conducted to select suitable HYV lentil variety for charland area of Tangail.

Methodology:

The trial was conducted at the charland of the Jamuna river under MLT site, Bhuapur, Tangail district (AEZ- 8) during rabi season of 2013-14. The soil of the experimental field was silty loam in texture with pH 6.97 belonging to Grey Floodplain soil (AEZ- 8). Soil samples from experimental plots were collected and analyzed. The physical and chemical properties of soil of experimental field are presented below:

Four high yielding lentil varieties viz. BARI Masur - 3, BARI Masur - 4, BARI Masur - 5, BARI Masur - 6 were tested against local variety. The experiment was laid out in RCB design 6 dispersed replications. The unit plot size was 4m X 6m. The plots were fertilized with 24-32-40-24 and 1.5 kg ha^-1 N P K S and B, respectively. All the fertilizers were applied at the time of final land preparation in the form of urea, triple super phosphate, muriate of potash, gypsum and boric acid respectively. The seeds were sown on 10 November 2013 in line with seed rate of 40 kg ha^-1. Seeds of lentil were sown in 30 cm apart solid line. Two hand weeding was done at 25 and 45 DAS. The crop was harvested on 27 February to 3 March, 2014.
